President Donald Trump is preparing to make significant personnel changes inside his administration following Republicans’ disappointing performance in Tuesday’s midterm elections, and the first major shake-up has already arrived.
During an interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes, Trump acknowledged that several members of his team could be on their way out, although he declined to identify anyone by name. Hours later, the White House announced a major leadership transition, confirming that Stephen Miller would replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff.
The developments have fueled fresh questions about the direction of the administration as Trump prepares to confront a Congress that will soon be controlled by Democrats.
The president’s remarks during the interview were particularly noteworthy because they came amid growing scrutiny of his administration’s performance following the election losses. Republicans are now facing the prospect of navigating the remainder of Trump’s term without control of either chamber of Congress.
